§969. Municipal personnel board or civil service authority

Nothing in this chapter shall diminish the authority and power of any municipal civil
service commission or personnel board or its agents established by statute, charter
or special act to conduct and grade merit examinations and to rate candidates in the
order of their relative excellence from which appointments or promotions may be made
to positions in the competitive division of the classified service of the municipal
employer served by such a civil service commission or personnel board. The conduct
and the grading of merit examinations, the rating of candidates and the establishment
of lists from such examinations and the appointments from such lists shall not be
subject to collective bargaining. If a collective bargaining agreement between a public
employer and a bargaining agent contains provisions for binding arbitration of grievances
involving the following matters: The demotion, lay-off, reinstatement, suspension,
removal, discharge or discipline of any public employee, such provisions shall be
controlling in the event they are in conflict with any authority and power, involving
such matters, of any such municipal civil service commission or personnel board or
its agents. [1969, c. 424, §1 (NEW).]
